Information processing device, non-transitory storage medium, and information processing method

Abstract

An information processing method includes receiving shift requests to control a shift range of a vehicle from a plurality of application software products configured to implement driver assistance functions of the vehicle, arbitrating the shift requests by using, as a condition, whether each of the received shift requests is a request in a traveling range or a request in a parking range, when the traveling range is the shift range in which a driving wheel of the vehicle is rotatable and the parking range is the shift range in which the driving wheel is not rotatable, and generating an instruction value for an action request to drive an actuator based on a result of arbitration.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An information processing device comprising a processor configured to:
 receive shift requests to control a shift range of a vehicle from a plurality of application software products configured to implement driver assistance functions of the vehicle; 
 arbitrate the shift requests by using, as a condition, whether each of the received shift requests is a request in a traveling range or a request in a parking range when the traveling range is the shift range in which a driving wheel of the vehicle is rotatable and the parking range is the shift range in which the driving wheel is not rotatable; and 
 generate an instruction value for an action request to drive an actuator based on a result of arbitration. 
 
     
     
       2. The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the processor is configured to receive priority levels in association with the shift requests when receiving the shift requests; 
 the priority levels is determined individually for the application software products that are sources of the shift requests; and 
 the processor is configured to arbitrate the shift requests by using, as a condition, the priority levels associated with the received shift requests, and whether each of the received shift requests is the request in the traveling range or the request in the parking range. 
 
     
     
       3. The information processing device according to  claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to select the request in the parking range as a result of arbitration of the shift requests when the priority level associated with the received request in the traveling range and the priority level associated with the received request in the parking range are the same. 
     
     
       4. The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the processor is configured to determine, as a representative of the request in the traveling range, a request in the traveling range that is received first among requests in the traveling range that are received continuously; and 
 the processor is configured to arbitrate the shift requests by using, as a candidate, the request in the traveling range that is determined as the representative. 
 
     
     
       5. A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that are executable by one or more processors of an information processing device and that cause the one or more processors to perform functions comprising:
 receiving shift requests to control a shift range of a vehicle from a plurality of application software products configured to implement driver assistance functions of the vehicle; 
 arbitrating the shift requests by using, as a condition, whether each of the received shift requests is a request in a traveling range or a request in a parking range when the traveling range is the shift range in which a driving wheel of the vehicle is rotatable, and the parking range is the shift range in which the driving wheel is not rotatable; and 
 generating an instruction value for an action request to drive an actuator based on a result of arbitration. 
 
     
     
       6. An information processing method to be executed by an information processing device, the information processing method comprising:
 receiving shift requests to control a shift range of a vehicle from a plurality of application software products configured to implement driver assistance functions of the vehicle; 
 arbitrating the shift requests by using, as a condition, whether each of the received shift requests is a request in a traveling range or a request in a parking range when the traveling range is the shift range in which a driving wheel of the vehicle is rotatable, and the parking range is the shift range in which the driving wheel is not rotatable; and 
 generating an instruction value for an action request to drive an actuator based on a result of arbitration.
